Archon 50 MKII showed up - A few observations and upgrades warranted!

For low volume, I have master at 9 o'clock. Bbe, I set bass to 9-10 o'clock, and nudge the highs just past that. Just a dash will do.
V30/CB65 is what came in my Bogner OS2x12, and is a good combo.

My BBE is basically lows at 8 o'clock, and highs and 9 o'clock. It really is a good pedal if used in moderation.

I'm really loving this amp!! I have a Buxom Boost showing up today to try out with it.

I did, actually, notice a slight hum using the effects loop trying out some different things. I changed the V5 dedicated FX Loop tube for a JJ ECC82 I had, (same as a 12AU7), and it fixed it right up. Seems pretty common in these.. The noise certainly wasn't terrible, but I still swapped out that tube.

Sonic stomp/maximizer are basically a 2 band equalizer. Lo contour is either 50 or 100 hz. Process is either 5k or 10k hz. It varies model to model. The newer pro adds a 675hz control.

I've had the new one. It's actually the best one.

I might give that a try, but honestly, I only notice it for a second.

It's a great amp!!
